Rumors that Neal Dunn, the current representative of Florida’s 2nd Congressional District, may not finish his term are circulating in mainstream news outlets.

His retirement would shrink the Republican majority in the House to 217-214, the thinnest margin for the majority party in the last 100 years.

Dunn officially announced on Jan. 13 that he would not seek a sixth term, prompting five Republicans to declare their intention to run in the primary. As of now, eight candidates are in the race: three Democrats and five Republicans.

Based on precedent from a recent Texas legislature special election and polling suggesting a leftward shift among voters, a special election in Florida’s 2nd District could guarantee a Democratic win
